Greetings Colleagues, I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. The name of the organization, the major organizing center for the dissemination of information on Black history, was changed in the sixties to the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (ASALH). The mission of ASALH is to promote, research, preserve, interpret and disseminate information about Black life, history and culture to the global community. FY17 Membership Dues - End of Year Funds Thanks to all who have remitted membership dues. As of June 2, eighty-two members have remitted dues totaling $80,412.18 as compared to seventy-three members remitting $70,111.85 by June 30, 2015.
